Personal...Guess everyone's a critic sometimes.<br /><br />Personally, I thought these letters were among the more creative things done on DGB in some time. <br /><br />Certainly better than the letter I received in 1990:<br /><br />"Dear Wild Thing,<br /><br />I am writing to inform you that your teammates have become quite uncomfortable with your latest "situation". Please request a trade, it will make the locker room more comfortable for everyone. I would do so myself, but 50 goal seasons matter more than inconsistent defensive play and a 100mph slapshot that only hits the net 10% of the time.<br /><br />Yours,<br />Gary Leeman<br /><br />PS I am balling your wife."Al "Spurned Divorcee" Iafratenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-2874190178147436032010-01-08T23:31:14.468-05:002010-01-08T23:31:14.468-05:00Am I the only guy who didn't like this one?
S...Am I the only guy who didn't like this one?<br /><br />Sorry, I'm not going to pile onto the love-fest. "Pure gold, LOL, I was crying, spit my coffee," and so on. It's getting ridiculous, the few gags in these letters don't merit that response.<br /><br />I've read every post on this blog and hold you to a higher standard. What happened? Why so many recent posts with the simulated dialogue gags? Though that one has been tossed recently for the long imaginary lists, "signs your bus is on fire, signs your teammates want to kill you, signs he has 16 mistresses, other NHL injuries, NHL'ers vs. cars...and on. What will tomorrow's be - signs that Kessel is really Jason Blake? <br /><br />The top-20 moments series was good and I think this is your strength - I get legitimately weepy at the nostalgic looks back (especially anything involving Wendel Clark or Gilmour), both good and bad. Weepy funny, weepy sad.<br /><br />Today's modified 1962 letter was another schtick I'm tired of seeing - a legitimate Leafs/hockey news event, which is tweaked for comedy reasons. The actual letter was funnier than the efforts to edit them into something better.<br /><br />I'm not trying to be a little bitch here, but I know you can do a lot better. I'm critical because I know you can do more. <br /><br />I want to see some more original ideas, or failing that, at least fewer posts that aren't a play on something circulating in the media. <br /><br />I'm not hiding behind an anonymous identiy either, I just don't have a blog of my own and attendant userID. I'm just a regular reader who is becoming dismayed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-73354902980466110842010-01-08T10:19:07.637-05:002010-01-08T10:19:07.637-05:00So the one single time this website was funny a fe...So the one single time this website was funny a few months back was an accident?
